Vikings waive Tate a month after picking him up

The Auburn product signed with the Browns as a free agent in March after spending his first three seasons with Houston. He started six games and rushed for 333 yards with a 3.1-yard average and four touchdowns with the Browns.

Tate, 26, ran for 771 yards with four touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 140 yards in 14 games last season and has accumulated 2,363 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in 51 NFL games.
